Yeah, it's almost at the point where you just blow it up and start again. Pretty sad when you think plenty were talking dynasty just last year.

It's nearing squad evaluation for the future time.
Bhunt dropped and get Mozer in and see how he looks as a future 9.
Get Bryce in and see if he can be a second rower at NRL level.
Semu has come in and looks like he can at least run with the big boys... so thats a tick for him. Pending how his chest pains go keep him in the squad, increase his minutes/stress situations and see how he responds.
Make decisions around Tawha, Jhunt, etc. give them minutes or **** them off.
Maybe more games into Verhoeven and Coates if theyre deciding to move on from Arthars

Problem is, I don't see Maguire dropping Bunt or Reynolds given their standing and likely being at the end of the road. If they get dropped, they are done. I'm not saying its right, I'm saying its reality.

I think Bhunt's efforts in defence are worthy of being dropped.
He's being selected as a hooker / middle forward, but he doesnt want to defend there... he keeps telling anyone who will listen that he wants to be a halfback.
That's basically undermining the coach and then his efforts on the field reinforce that talk.
If he wants to make an example then dropping Bhunt is an easy one.
I do agree that it's very unlikely to happen.

Trell gets to make his own rules, does media only when it suits him, plays origin only when it suits him, must be nice.

Maybe Wayne feels bad for us and won't tell them to put 50 on
The same guy whose team threw a game to give us our first spoon?

Bunt too slow to keep in the squad. Reyno starting to show it game by game.
With Haas (Origin), Staggs (Origin) and possibly Semu out (Chest injury), we are back to having **** all players to fill certain position.
I'd assume we roll out the same squad this game, but JHunt probably comes in on the bench or starting 2nd row, with JGos or Talty to starting prop? And possibly Rogers on the bench for Semu if he can't recover by Thursday. Arthars to centre, Verhoeven/Poates to wing.
We are so cooked with depth.

We literally can't look any worse. What's going to happen? We lose? I'd give Ezra, Paix, Reynolds and Gosiewski a rest. They need it.

Wayne still has an axe to grind with us. As I understand it he thinks he was short changed on his payout when he was sacked.Maybe Wayne feels bad for us and won't tell them to put 50 on
He would like them to put 100 on us.
